Any full pay student at any college is subsidizing the kids on financial aid.

They really aren’t though. Large universities have far more complex budgets than this. The full pay kids are often subsidized too, just to a lesser extent.

Aside from UNC and UVA, are there any other state flagships that meet full demonstrated financial need for out-of-state students?

UMich and all the California schools do not meet OOS financial need. Everywhere else varies more depending on the kid.

Also, here are reasons why my kid will pick UNC over our state flagship:

UNC is stronger in my kid's major,
State flagship is located only 20 minutes from home; college to me is about growth and independence,
State flagship is extremely popular with kids from my kid's high school and my kid does not want high school 2.0,
UNC has better weather, more diversity, and is located in an area that is poised for major growth (research triangle),
My kid's 529 savings was built on assumption they would go to a private, so cost is not a consideration

That's why we moved from DC to VA not MD. Of course UNC is better than UMD. But UVA is on par or better than UNC for undergrad, and is an incredible deal when in-state.

Uva oos engineering is 91_93k

UNC is doing this for the simple reason that they can.

UNC is still only 65K all-in OOS.

I mean what specific program exists at UNC that would be worth that. So, not only do your scores and stats have to be so much higher than the average in-state student there, but now you are even paying that much more.

That's just stupid. Sorry. To each their own.

Not worth it, but many oos have cash to burn.
